So for the past few nights I have come out to feed and my females are busy digging nests......obviously they don't know how exciting this is because they have yet to give me an egg !!

I MIGHT GO CRAZY!! :)

She's building test nests, to find which area is the best to lay her eggs in before mating session.

Is it close to winter then? If she'd digging like that maybe she's trying to make a burrow instead? So it might be wise to add more bedding or put her in an warm area with dirt in it so she can make her burrow and you can watch her and make sure she stays warm.

She is gigging out with her back legs ....

She is on a soil/peat/CPI mix and she is inside the tortoise shed for the winter. 82-90 during the day and 70-75 at night

XD kinda figured.

But yeah, your tort is probably building nests. So it might be wise to add atleast 1 or 2 inches to her shed. If she was digging with her front legs then it'd be a burrow thought.
